What changed?

Server admins can change those settings via command variables in the server.cfg when you start-up a WoR server. You can change: how many people are needed for the In Formation buff; the distance between those individuals to be counted In Formation or Skirmishing Mode to allow scouting; the number of allotted tickets for each side; the number of lives in Picket Patrol; the time limit for desertion; the time limits for each area; disable the map boundaries, etc.

Just spend an hour poking around the CFG and JSON files on your server and edit the contents using Notepad.

Wow, you're a saviour!!!!
Formation from 1 soldier (being in formation at all times), that will open up possibilities...also prolong the game but that can also be tweaked.

Whoever makes the change on his server, give a hint somewhere. That server will fill up and stay filled!
